Ratajkowski:<\/strong> “And there’s a John Updike story I always love that my mom gave to me when I was 13 that\u2019s about the daughter of this guy, and her female friend comes over and is wearing a tank top or something sexual, and the father makes her leave. It\u2019s about the guilt and the shame that she feels for something she doesn\u2019t understand. And to me, that\u2019s always been so huge, because so much of our culture is about how women are supposed to behave in men\u2019s eyes, and it\u2019s never just a celebration of who they are. Like, what a wonderful thing to be a beautiful, sexual woman. How terrible that young women in our culture have to look towards pornography or over-sexualized versions of themselves to understand how to embrace their beauty. So, that\u2019s sort of where I come from, and that\u2019s definitely something my mom instilled in me.<\/p>\n

Gell:<\/strong> “Updike hasn’t always been considered much of a feminist, so maybe that will change now.”<\/p>\n

Ratajkowski:<\/strong> \u00a0“It might\u2026”<\/p>\n
